Outside the east gate of Fucheng, there is a farm of Guofu.

The farm is located here, one is that it is close to the salt field, which is convenient for management and control; the other is that there are officers and soldiers guarding the vicinity of the salt field, so the safety factor is high.

Guo Tang paced back and forth in the courtyard, waiting anxiously.

Before he was tied up by Lou Yu in the Wang Mansion, now it was his turn to hide Lou Yu in the Guo Manor.

As the appointed time drew near, his heart beat faster and faster.

The whole person is both excited and apprehensive.

Chang Sui persuaded: "My lord, don't worry, if the barbarian still wants to continue doing business in Dasheng, he will definitely not break the contract."

"It's up to you to say that!"

Guo Tang rolled his eyes and yelled at him.

He wasn't worried about the barbarian horse dealer's temporary betrayal, he was just afraid that the rough man wouldn't be able to handle things well.

What if I accidentally hurt Lou Yu?

In a hurry, the servant who went out to inquire ran in with a happy face.

"Young master! Our carriage is here!"

Guo Tang was startled, and suddenly felt like he was dreaming when he was at a critical moment.

Did you get Lou Yu so easily?

He was a little dazed, but still overwhelmed by joy, he hurriedly ran out.

The carriage wobbled to a stop in front of the yard, and the sturdy figure of the Beiman horse dealer firmly blocked the curtain of the carriage.

Guo Tang was anxious and stretched out his hand to chase him away: "Get down!"

Wutimu twitched the corner of his mouth, jumped out of the carriage easily, and stood aside with folded arms.

He is really tall and mighty, standing beside his long suit, his long suit looks like a little chicken.

The long follower quietly moved to the side.

Guo Tang's heart jumped into his throat, he paused in front of the car for a while, and then he calmed down a little, and opened the curtain to enter.

Prince Qing's son was docilely lying in the carriage.

His hair was in a messy bun, and the jet-black hair was laid out on the quilt, covering his cheeks a little, making his face even fairer, with a faint jade light.

Guo Tang couldn't help laughing.

There was a fire in his heart, which made his blood boil.

In fact, he didn't understand it himself.

Obviously before, he was only interested in teasing Lou Yu, but after meeting with Minglou last winter, his teasing thoughts decreased, and instead he became more serious and enthusiastic.

The young son was only fourteen years old, and he was born as bright and beautiful as jade, with a slender and slender frame. Now he is lying obediently in front of him, more beautiful than a painting.

Guo Tang still remembered the plan, and he did not forget to tell his servants: "Go to the city and report the letter, and say that the person has arrived."

The servant led away.

Guo Tang originally wanted to move Lou Yu to the yard, but he really couldn't bear to destroy the scene in front of him.

He was sitting next to Lou Yu, staring with his chin propped up.

Anyway, Lou Yu drank the drug and couldn't wake up for a while.

When he wakes up, Prince Qing's Mansion is probably under his father's control.

He stared at Lou Yu obsessively for a long while, but couldn't help stretching out his hand.

His fingertips were about to approach Lou Yu's cheek.

The sharp arrow hit his neck, and with a little more force, it would pierce the skin and blood would flow profusely.

"do not move."

A hoarse and cold voice came from behind.

Guo Tang was about to call out, but Lou Yu suddenly opened his eyes, sat up neatly, and stuffed his mouth with a cloth.

Guo Tang: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

"Are you trying to say," Lou Yu said with dark eyes, "how is it possible, how did you wake up?"

"Woooo."

Lou Yu reached out and clasped his neck, his tone was flat, but his eyes were extremely cold.

He slowly tightened his fingers: "You are not small, you dare to deceive me with medicine, and you dare to kidnap me."

Guo Tang's face turned red, and then gradually turned purple.

He stared at Lou Yu in horror, and kept yelling, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

Huo Yan said suddenly: "It's ok."

If you don't stop, you will really die.

He knew that the Guo family father and son were going to replace Lou Yu with a dead body, but he didn't know that Guo Tang coveted Lou Yu!

Huo Yan couldn't help looking at Lou Yu.

Although the young son's hair is disheveled, his handsome appearance is not damaged. It is indeed easy to make people miss him.

He looks away.

Lou Yu let go of Guo Tang, and said indifferently, "Do you want to see what the farm looks like now?"

Guo Tang froze, staring blankly at Lou Yu.

"Young master! Something happened!"

A panicked cry completely shattered Guo Tang's luck.

He knew that something really happened to the farm!

Lou Yu dragged him out of the car.

In order to hide Lou Yu, Guo Tang dismissed the rest of the farm, and now there are only a few followers of the Guo family left in the farm.

A long follower escaped from the yard in embarrassment, but was shot in the vest by a bamboo arrow.

He cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Guo Tang turned his head and stared at Lou Yu, as if asking him what he was going to do!

He could see it clearly, the bamboo arrow was real, the blood flowing from the back of the long follower was also real, and the prince with cold eyes in front of him was also real.

He should have thought earlier that Lou Yu had changed.

Prince Qing's son is no longer a harmless rabbit. Before that, he had already opened his fangs to them.

It's just that he and his father are still self-righteous, trying to use the confidence given by the court to completely ban Lou Yu and control the entire Qing Palace.

He "woo hoo" twice, looking down at the cloth ball in his mouth.

Lou Yu showed mercy and took it off.

Guo Tang asked hoarsely, "Did you really kill them? Are you going to kill me too?"

Lou Yu comforted him: "Don't worry, I didn't issue a killing order. At best, they will lose their ability to resist."

"As for you," his eyes turned cold, "you and your father set up a situation to harm me, do you think I will kill you?"

"I didn't mean to harm you," Guo Tang said in a dumb voice, "I won't really harm you."

Lou Yu: "..."

Huo Yan said at the right time: "The farmyard has been cleaned up, when will you return to the city?"

"Lou Yu, don't forget that there are troops stationed in Fucheng, and officers and soldiers are guarding the salt field. Even if you tie me up, I won't be able to escape."

Guo Tang put on a depressed face, trying to persuade Lou Yu to stop.

He had just sent someone to report to the city, if his father made a wrong judgment based on the information, then the Guo family would lose power completely.

He murmured: "My father will not let you go."

With the face torn to such an extent, there is no room for Guo Mansion and Prince Qing Mansion to turn around.

Lou Yu didn't care much: "Your father didn't intend to let me go. Once I 'die', he will take away the wealth of my palace and imprison my parents until death."

He had a sneer on his face, "No matter how much salt I share with him, he won't be satisfied."

Between Guo's Mansion and Prince Qing's Mansion, there will eventually be a competition.

"My father is the magistrate. If something happens to him, the imperial court will definitely pursue it. What's more, the imperial court garrison has weapons, and the palace soldiers of the palace have no strength to fight at all."

Although Guo Tang knew that Lou Yu had changed, he didn't understand Lou Yu at all.

What he said was deliberately instilled in him by Lou Yu who had someone bribe Guo's servants.

Now being used by him to threaten himself is really ridiculous.

Lou Yu directly gagged his mouth.

"Then let's wait and see."

Guo Mansion.

After receiving the news from Zhuangzi, Guo Lian could no longer hide the excitement on his face, and quickly asked the people around him, "Is there any movement in Nanshi?"

"The fire is burning and everyone is fighting the fire."

Guo Lian clapped his hands happily.

"Good good!"

Now that he has firmly controlled Lou Yu, in a while, he will use the burnt corpse to publicize the fact that Prince Qing's son was buried in the sea of ​​flames.

King Qing lost his beloved son, and he will definitely be devastated. Those soldiers are nothing more than food and drink, so there is nothing to worry about.

Once he takes control of Prince Qing's mansion, he can use the lives of King Qing and Princess Qing to blackmail Lou Yu.

At that time, how dare Lou Yu resist?

In this way, all the wealth of Prince Qing's Mansion and all of Lou Yu's properties will become his possessions.

Very good!

After being aggrieved for so long, he can finally feel proud!

The fire in Nanshi did not harm the people, but one person was burned to death.

The people were talking.

When Lou Yu went to find a horse dealer, many people noticed because the car was too conspicuous.

Right now, the corpse was burnt to a blurry face, and only the jade pendant left in the fire could prove its identity.

When the news reached Prince Qing's mansion, King Qing and Princess Qing's first reaction was disbelief.

The yamen servant who reported the letter had a perfunctory face: "Now the corpse is parked in the yamen, if the prince doesn't believe it, let the villain go and recognize it."

King Qing was shaking violently. If Steward Feng hadn't supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Princess Qing's eyes were red, as if she was about to bleed.

"I don't believe it! I'll admit it!"

Guo Lian also "received" the news that Prince Qing's son had been killed, changed into his official uniform, and hurried to the government office.

He couldn't wait.

A charred corpse was parked in the open space of the yamen, and a jade was placed beside the corpse.

It's the one that Lou Yu often wears.

Guo Lian drank tea leisurely, humming a tune in his throat, and waited for King Qing to arrive.

He had already imagined how mournful Prince Qing would be, how he would point his nose and scold him.

King Qing would scold him for dereliction of duty, for lax governance, and for being unworthy of being an official.

Guo Lian has already thought of the wording.

Suddenly a yamen servant came to report: "My lord, there is news from the Qingshi salt field that the salt workers have suddenly rioted, and the defenders can't resist it."

Guo Lian didn't have the mood to care about such nonsense now, he waved his hand and said:

"Won't you send more people if you can't stop it?! It's all a bunch of pig brains!"

The yamen servant looked embarrassed: "But my lord was deployed in the city before, and I can't draw any troops at present."

When Guo Lian made the plan, he arranged most of the garrisons around the government office. Once King Qing went crazy and mobilized the government soldiers to kill him, he could still protect himself.

However, something happened suddenly in the salt field. If the salt workers rioted out of the salt field, the consequences would be disastrous.

Anyway, Lou Yu was already in his hands, and if King Qing really went crazy, he could use Lou Yu to restrain him.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "Then pass on my order to dispatch five hundred garrisons to suppress the salt workers."

Although there are 2000 salt workers in the salt field, their labor force is limited, and they are a group of ignorant and foolish people. The [-] garrisons wearing armor and holding sharp knives cannot suppress it.

The yamen servant was ordered to retreat.

A moment later, King Qing and Princess Qing hurried to the government office. The two described themselves as embarrassed and almost fell when they got off their horses.

Guo Lian went up to him with a sad face, but before he could speak, he was swung aside by Princess Qing and almost fell down.

He snorted secretly, his face turned cold.

King Qing and Princess Qing were still lucky.

But the moment he saw the jade pendant, he fell to the ground on the spot, completely disregarding his appearance, and couldn't even shed tears when the pain was so extreme.

Guo Lian stepped forward hypocritically, "My lord and my concubine are mourning."

"Guo Lian! Why did Nanshi suddenly catch fire? As the magistrate, you cannot escape the blame!"

King Qing's face was mad, and he reprimanded loudly.

Guo Lian opened his mouth to answer, when a clear voice suddenly came from outside the yamen:

"What my father said is true. Mr. Guo didn't do a good job of fire prevention, and he burned innocent people to death. It's really sad!"

The whole yamen was silent.

Guo Lian stared at the door with wide-eyed eyes as if he had seen a ghost.

The young son slowly stepped into the yamen.

King Qing and Princess Qing were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, quickly wiped away their tears, smoothed their messy hair gracefully, and said with their hands covering their chests, "It's really heartbreaking!"

Lou Yu gave them a comforting look, walked to the side of the charred corpse, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Oh! I just gave this jade pendant to Guo Tang, no way, no way, Mr. Guo, isn't this Guo Tang?"

Guo Lian was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "What did you say?!"

Lou Yu said without blinking: "I asked Guo Tang to go to Nanshi, and when we parted, he took a fancy to my jade pendant and asked for it. Unexpectedly, he saw the jade pendant here."

"..."

The yamen is completely silent, and the drop of a needle can be heard.

What is this all about? !

Didn't it mean that the one who was burned to death was Prince Qing's son?But Prince Qing's son suddenly appeared in the yamen alive, and kept saying that the one holding the jade pendant was Young Master Guo!

Could this be any more surprising? !

All the officials and servants in the government office were silent like cicadas.

Some of the officials knew what Guo Lian planned today, and they were still looking forward to the victory, but what about now?

This is different from what they thought!

Some people who don't know just think that this matter has turned too much, and no one can make a conclusion until the last moment.

It's really too exciting!

Guo Lian couldn't believe it: "How is it possible?! How is this possible?!"

Lou Yu blinked and said sympathetically, "I can't recognize this corpse, maybe it's not Guo Tang."

For a moment, Guo Lian transformed into King Qing and Princess Qing.

My heart hurts so much that I can't even turn my mind.

He didn't want to believe Lou Yu's words at all, but why did Lou Yu appear here? !

Did something really happen to Guo Tang? !

"Report-"

Another yamen servant rushed over, sweating profusely, and said, "My lord, there are bandits suddenly appearing eight miles away from the east gate, and the farm has suffered heavy losses!"

Guo Lian's eyes darkened. Isn't the farm on the outskirts of Dongmen the place where he and Guo Tang decided to hide Lou Yu? !

Why did a group of bandits rush out again? !

What's the matter!

He suddenly looked at Lou Yu.

His Royal Highness Shizi looked calm and peaceful, and when he met his gaze, he even smiled slightly.

Guo Lian's brain exploded with a buzz.

He pointed at Lou Yu with trembling fingers, "You...you..."

Lou Yu raised his hand and asked, "Whether this charred corpse is Guo Tang or not is yet to be discussed. Mr. Guo, why don't you come in and talk about it?"

Speaking of this, if Guo Lian still can't hear it, he is really stupid.

If he doesn't compromise, Guo Tang will turn into a real corpse.

His chest was heaving and unsteady, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Lou Yu, there are heavy guards outside the government office, if you want to make trouble, you have to ask their swords!"

Now the three members of King Qing's family are in the government office, like turtles in a urn.As long as he gave an order, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Lou Yu smiled lightly, his face was radiant, and he was unpretentious.

"Master Guo, are you referring to the few hundred garrisons left in the city? I'm sorry, they are in danger right now."

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of orderly and shocking footsteps came from outside the government office.

A tall man in black clothes and a red belt around his waist led the troops in, all holding sharp knives, majestic and majestic.

"Subordinate Li Shu, kowtow to the prince, concubine, and prince!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, their expressions trembling.

Lou Yu asked, "How is the situation?"

Li Shu said loudly: "Your Highness, all the garrison troops in the city have been captured, and the arsenal has been breached! This subordinate has led a thousand soldiers to surround the government office and come to rescue Your Highness!"

Everyone: What the hell?Rescue who?This man speaks very carefully.

Guo Lian's face was ashen.

He couldn't believe it, he stared at Lou Yu, unable to speak for a long while.

To be honest, with only three thousand soldiers in charge of the overall situation, Lou Yu owes a lot to the present Holy Majesty.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to the frontier defense, and the court and China were fighting for power, which led to a serious shortage of troops in Dasheng's second gate to the northern barbarians - Gyeongju Prefecture.

If it was replaced by the tens of thousands of garrisons in Jizhou Prefecture, it would be impossible for Lou Yu to be straightforward.

He looked leisurely: "Master Guo, Guo Tang's life and death are uncertain, and he is still waiting for you to save him."

This is a blatant threat!

Guo Lian figured it out immediately.

The so-called bandits attacking the village and the so-called salt field riots were all planned by Lou Yu!

He didn't know what method Lou Yu used to counter his son and make the salt workers riot in a timely manner.

terrible!

In an instant, he felt a deep fear of the immature son in front of him.

Guo Lian couldn't help but look around.

The matter of "the son was burned to death" attracted almost all the officials in the government office.

This is the scene Guo Lian wanted to see.

He wanted to crush Prince Qing's mansion into the mud in front of everyone, and he would never turn over again.

But now, the clown has become himself.

And his confidantes, who used to be flattering and flattering, are dumbfounded today, and under Lou Yu's strength, they dare not even look at him.

He covered his face and let out a long sigh, his hale and hearty face instantly aged, but he finally bowed his head and admitted defeat.

"Your Highness, please."

All the officials saw the situation clearly and understood that the Qingzhou government was about to change, so they dared not say a word of resistance and lined up to enter the inner office.

King Qing and Princess Qing looked at each other and followed them in.

Guo Lian didn't dare to sit down anymore, so he stood and waited for Lou Yu to make arrangements.

Lou Yu was not polite, let King Qing and Princess Qing sit in the main seats, and he chose the bottom left.

All the officials were so winking that they didn't dare to sit down, they stood there like wooden stakes to listen to the lecture.

Lou Yu didn't talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point:

"One mountain cannot contain two tigers. On this mountain in Qingzhou Prefecture, you, Guo Lian, want to be king, and I, Qing Palace, don't want to go down the mountain. I won't be relentless if you try to harm me. At this point, what else do you want?" said?"

Guo Lian is greedy by nature, but timid and fearful. He relied on the authority of the government and the well-equipped garrison to dare to wrestle with Lou Yu.

Now that he lost, he lost all courage and only thought about his own son.

His face was miserable, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Your Highness has orders, so don't dare not obey."

Lou Yu was very satisfied with his attitude.

He looked around at the crowd and said loudly: "From now on, all official documents and seals of the government office will be taken over by this hall, and you must obey my orders!"

He paused, then asked with a smile, "Do you have any objections?"

How could the officials dare to resist, they all sighed and shook their heads: "We will follow His Highness's orders!"

It's really embarrassing for a dignified court official to be reduced to this level.

But who asked Qing Wang's soldiers to surround the mansion with water?

Lou Yu had a panoramic view of their eyebrows and lawsuits, and was not surprised.

He didn't expect to get everyone's support as soon as he came up.

The days are still long, as long as the government office is under his firm control, he will not worry about these people causing any disturbances.

Lou Yu called Guo Lian by name: "Master Guo, the fire in Nanshi is your negligence, the salt workers' riot is also your negligence, and the bandit's raid is also your negligence. What are you going to do?"

Guo Lian was speechless.

The fire in Nanshi was indeed indulged by him, but the remaining two things had nothing to do with him!

He took a deep breath, bowed and bowed: "This official is guilty, Wuyan will continue to be in charge of Qingzhou Mansion, and all matters in Qingzhou Mansion will be decided by His Highness in the future."

Lou Yu smiled and said kindly: "There are frequent incidents in Qingzhou Mansion today, and I am afraid that something strange will happen. I am worried about the safety of your lords, and I have specially sent soldiers to surround the mansion to protect your personal safety."

Someone reacted quickly and couldn't help asking: "What does Your Highness mean? Are you going to put me under house arrest?"

Lou Yu said with a smile: "This lord is serious, but the government office is guarded by heavy soldiers, so it is safer."

The man was still about to speak, when a knife was placed on his neck in an instant.

Princess Qing stared wide-eyed: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll cut off your head!"

She was born in a family of military generals, and her ancestors had been in the rivers and lakes, so she was somewhat bandit-like.

She has seen clearly what happened today.

My precious son made such a big deal without making a sound, and I don't know how many dangers he has gone through. As a mother, she is both proud and distressed.

My heart was already in a mess, hearing that this man disobeyed his son, I couldn't help but draw out my sword and scold him.

The official was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.

Lou Yu secretly smiled, his mother is really brave!

Under the threat of force from Prince Qing's Mansion, Lou Yu is in charge of all affairs in Qingzhou Mansion.

Lou Yu asked Li Shu: "Is the fire out in Nanshi? Are there any casualties? Are there any property losses for the people?"

"Destroyed, except for a charred corpse, there were no other casualties, and the surrounding people suffered no loss."

Lou Yu asked again: "Guo Mansion Farm was attacked, are there any casualties? How much damage? Can you find out who the bandits are?"

Li Shu replied respectfully: "A dozen people were injured, and no one was killed. It's just that all the valuables in the village were robbed, and the bandit's whereabouts were mysterious and disappeared, but it is said that one of them has a high nose and deep eyes, not like a Dasheng person. "

"Oh?" Lou Yu looked at Guo Lian, "Could it be that the northern barbarians colluded with the Dasheng bandits and killed innocent people?"

Guo Lian: "..."

He was once again shocked by Lou Yu's thick skin.

Why doesn't he write a storybook!

"Master Guo, there are barbarians in Gyeongju who harmed our people in Dasheng and the city of Gyeongju, causing innocent people to be injured, their greed is evident!

"Immediately write a letter to the imperial court, expressing this matter, requesting the imperial court's permission to send additional troops, and the Ministry of Households to allocate funds to help Qingzhou build fortifications to resist the northern barbarians going south."

Guo Lian was shocked: "...Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will really send more troops?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

Why did he want to remind Lou Yu?Wouldn't it be good to just let the imperial court send troops over to destroy Prince Qing's Mansion?

Lou Yu glanced at him, "Can you write?"

The imperial court will not send troops here by itself, at most it will give a reply in the memorial-you can figure it out.

The treasury is empty, there is no money and no soldiers, and there is no way to send troops to allocate funds.

It is really sympathetic that Guo Lian still has hope for the current court.

He asked Guo Lian to write the memorial for his own purpose.

Guo Lian had no choice but to write down the memorial quickly in front of him, and sent it to the post station by Li Shu.

It's not over yet.

Lou Yu took a sip of tea and continued, "As for the salt workers' riot, I've sent people to investigate in detail, and there must be a result."

As soon as the words were finished, another young man in black clothes and red belt stepped into the inner office.

The visitor was only fifteen or sixteen years old, handsome and extraordinary, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified appearance, in addition to a tall and slender figure, his bearing was not like ordinary people.

All the officials were slandering where Lou Yu found the good seedlings, so they heard Lou Yu say:

"Huo Yan, has the riot in the salt field subsided? Are there any casualties?"

Everyone was shocked.

Surname Huo?Could it be the blood of the Huo family? !

Last year, I heard that Prince Qing's son bought the Huo family to torture him. They originally only used it as an after-dinner conversation. Unexpectedly, the so-called "torture" was just a cover, and they were all deceived!

Huo Yan said: "This matter has been investigated. The cause is that the ambassador of the salt department embezzled the salt workers' money and food, abused and beat the salt workers, which made it difficult for the salt workers to survive and had to ask for an explanation. In the dispute, both parties were injured."

Lou Yu's expression turned cold, "What courage!"

He turned to Guo Lian: "If Mr. Guo can't manage a saltworks well, why don't you!"

Guo Lian: "..."

He and Lou Yu looked at each other for a moment, and finally said: "Your Highness is very true. I know that I have no face to manage the saltworks, so please ask Your Highness to take care of the aftermath for you."

This is simply stepping on the dignity in the mud.

Guo Lian was ashamed of his old face, and the rest of the officials responded with sympathy.

Within a day, Lou Yu initially took control of Gyeongju Prefecture.

Although he occupied the government office and won the control of the saltworks, there are still many things to be resolved in the follow-up.

He inspected the crowd, smiled and said happily: "From now on, I will work in the Yamen together with you adults, please give me your advice."

Everyone: "..."

Who the hell dares to teach!
